This invention relates to wind propelled toys, and the primary object of the invene tion is to provide a toy embodying a wind wheel, which operates representative figures of a man and a woman, giving the impression that'the woman is rotating the wheel, and the man urging her on to greater efforts.

Another object of this invention is to provide a toy embodying a representative figure of a woman, which has pivoted arms,

legs and feet, for. imparting a lifelike ap-' pearance upon the operation of thetoy by i the rotation of the wind wheel.

With the foregoing and other. obiects in view this invention consists in such novel features of constructlon, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and claimed.

In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like charactersdesignate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which V l Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved toy, Fig. 2 is a side elevationof the toy, showing. parts thereof broken away,

Fig. 3 is a view of the female representative figure, and Fig. 1 is a View of thermal'e' representative figure. v

- Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 designates a supporting platform of thetoy, which is pivotally mounted upon the upper reduced end 2 of an upstand ng pin or supporting pole 3. v-The supporting,

platform 1 has a weather vane l secured thereto, so that it will be rotated-upon the reduced end 2, for properly positioning the toy for actuation by the current of a breeze Or the wind.

The supporting standing standard 5 secured thereto, which standard rotatably supports a crankshaft 6. The crank shaft'6 has a wind wheel? of the ordinary construction mounted upon one Specification of Letters Patent.

platform 1 has an upmtenteu Nov. 2, 1915.

end thereof, and its crank portion 8 positioned upon the opposite .sides of the 'standard'5. I

The'crank portion8 has arms 9 and 10 of the representative figure 11 of a woman j loosely connected thereto forpermitting of:

rotation of the crankshaft independent of the arm. The arms'9 and 10of the representative figure 11' ar pivotally connected to the torso 12 ofthe representative figure,

as is, clearly shown at 13. The torso 12 has legs 14 and '15 pivotally connected thereto, which legs are in turn pivotally connectedto feet 16 and 17. The feet 16 and 17 are secured to the" supporting platform 1 in any suitable manner.

. A representative figure'18 of a man is l secured tofthe, supporting platform 1 rearwardly of the representative figure 11, and it has one leg 19 pivotally connected to the torso thereof. The foot 20, which is secured to the pivoted leg'1'9, is free from attachment to the supporting platform 1. The

pivoted leg 19 ofthe representative figure 18 V is connected'f to the" torso 12 of the image 11 bya wire. 21', so that when the torso 12 moves forwardly, as indicated indotted lines in Fig. 2. of the drawing, the pivoted leg19 will also move forwardly and the foot 20 thereofwill. engage the torso 12 of theimagell'.asjisindicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2 of the drawing. I The. legs 14E and-15ofthe representative figure 11 are provided with shoulders 22 formed thereon, which shoulders engage the feet 16 and 17 and limit the forward movement of the legs 14 and 15 tion ofthe device;

- In the operation of theimprovedtoy: The weathenyane a will move the support, ingbase or platform 1 down upon its piv otal connection. with thepost 3, so that the current of the wind willpronerlyr strike the during the opera wind wheel. "The rotation of'the wind wheel,

7 will rotate the crank shaft 6, The rota:

tion of the crank shaft' 6 will "move the torso 12 of the image 11, upon its pivotal connection with the legs 14 and 15, causing it to move into the position indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2' of thedrawing, and imparting an appearance or idea thatthe woman or representative figure 11 is rotating the crank shaft and consequently the wheel/7. The downward pivotalmovement of the torso 12 will move the pivoted leg toy will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains and, while in the foregoing description, the principle of the operation of this invention has been described together with various features of construction, it is to be understood that certain minor features of construction, combinationand arrangement of parts may be altered to suit practical conditions provided such alterations are comprehended within the scope of what is I claimed.

What is claimed is 1. A toy, a supporting base, a representative human figure mounted uponsaid base including a torso, arms pivotally connected to said torso, legs secured to said base, said torso being pivotally connected to said legs, a'second representative human figure carried by said supporting base rearwardly of said first named figure, said second named figure having a pivoted leg, means connecting said pivoted leg to said torso for moving the leg synchronously with movement of the torso, and means connected to said pivoted arms for pivotally moving said torso.

2. In a toy, a supporting base, a wind wheel, a crank shaft operative connected to said wind wheel, a representative figure of a person carried by said supporting base, pivoted arms carried by said representative figure, the torso of said figure being pivotally connected to its legs, said pivoted arms being rotatably connected to said crank shaft for moving said torso upon its pivotal connection with the legs upon the rotation of said wind wheel, a second representative figure carried by said supporting base, said second named representative figure having a pivoted leg, said pivoted leg connected to said torso for pivotal movement upon the pivotal movement of said torso.

3. In a toy, a supporting base, a wind wheel supported by said base, a crank shaft connected to said wind wheel, a represent- Copies of this patent may be obtained for ative figure of a woman having pivoted arms, a torso, legs pivotally connected to said torso, feet secured to said base, said legs being pivotally connected to said feet, shoulders formed upon said legs for engaging said feet for limiting the pivotal movement of said legs, said pivoted arms being rotatably connected to said crank shaft for moving said torso upon its pivotal connection with said legs upon rotation of said wind wheel, a representative figure of a man carried by said supporting base and em bodying a pivoted leg, a foot formed upon said pivoted leg, said pivoted leg being connected to said torso for pivotal movement upon pivotal movement of said torso for causing said foot to engage said torso upon the forward pivotal movement of the torso.

4. In a toy, a pivoted supporting base, a wind wheel carried by said supporting base, a weather vane secured to said supporting base for moving it upon its pivotal support for positioning said wind wheel in line with a current of wind, a crank shaft operatively connected to said wind wheel, a representative figure of a woman supported by said supporting base, said representative figure embodying a torso, legs pivotally connected to said torso, feet rigidly connected to said supporting base, said legs being pivotally connected to said feet, shoulders formed upon said legs for limiting the forward pivotal movement of the legs, arms pivotally connected to said torso, said arms being rotatably connected to said crank shaft for moving said torso upon its pivotal connection with said legs upon rotation of the wind wheel and crank shaft, a representative figure of a man carried by said supporting base and positioned rearwardly of said first named representative figure, said representative figure of a man embodying legs, one of said legs being securely connected to said supporting base, the other of said legs being pivotally connected to said representative figure, a rod connected to said pivotal leg and to said torso for moving said leg synchronously with the movement of said torso.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
